Chrome DevTools MCP: The MCP Server Wired Directly to CDP

chrome-devtools-mcp, maintained by the Chrome team, packages DevTools capability as an MCP server: performance traces and insights, Lighthouse audits, heap snapshots, extension management — none of which @playwright/mcp exposes. It runs on Puppeteer, so interactions auto-wait; the costs are Chrome-only support and usage statistics reported to Google by default.

Claude Code gains browser control through the Claude in Chrome extension: read console logs and DOM state, click, type, upload files, record GIFs, and operate sites you're already signed into.
